It was created to frustrate the then privately promulgated radio stations of the day on the basis of &#39;he who controls the media controls the agenda&#39; and NOTHING has changed since.<br /><br />It will <b>never</b> go away and, if it weren&#39;t for the fact that the &#39;other&#39; stations are equally compliant with the current agenda the Government would introduce more stringent &#39;laws&#39; to enforce licence payment to guarantee its dominance.<br /><br />As part of ALL the media, the BBC leads the way in corrupting the public - never mind their efforts at undermining big-ticket productions or handing out massive pay packets to their selected Borg, this is yet another &#39;distraction&#39; from the real problems - and yes, even Radders is caught up with the issue whilst the world burns down in front of us.....<br /><br />The BBC Charter is a sham - if it had any legal basis we could all refuse to pay our licence fee on the grounds that it&#39;s illegal to knowingly fund illegal activities (if bias, misrepresentation and lying by omission were actual offences) but I refuse to pay it anyway and will call for the Balen Report to be used in supportive evidence of their corruption should they try to enforce their will.Dave_Gnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-72265572876486811202016-09-11T13:51:57.102+01:002016-09-11T13:51:57.102+01:00Don&#39;t care one iota what the Boy Buggering Cor...Don&#39;t care one iota what the Boy Buggering Corporation says, they are renowned liars.<br />One simple answer, encrypt the signal and make it pay to view, then we will all see how well they manage on a level playing field.<br />Not had a t.v. in the house for years and have never been tempted to watch online, sans their twisted propaganda on multicultiglobalwarmypoliticalcorrecty sh1te my blood pressure is just about back to normal.RACnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1537213245172078183.post-16310504812236623392016-09-11T12:34:35.747+01:002016-09-11T12:34:35.747+01:00Don&#39;t buy a TV licence, obey the law, and the ...Don&#39;t buy a TV licence, obey the law, and the BBC will collapse.

As the establishment mouthpiece, its job should be to broadcast its views.<br /><br />The commercial channels otoh should not be involved in parroting the views of the BBC, which is what they seem to do.<br /><br />This system works very well in the USA, the public service broadcasting system is devoted to being the government mouthpiece, along with a liberal dose of educational programming, and this comes out of taxation.<br /><br />Entertainment, religious programming, political opinion, comedy and so on is made and sold through a combination of advertising and subscription and in general, is of a very high standard... It has to be, otherwise people would not buy into it.<br /><br />As it stands in the UK, we have to pay for the BBC, even if we don&#39;t want anything to do with it. We have to pay, just for having a television in the house.<br /><br />Anyway the whole thing is currently undergoing huge change, more and more is coming down the telephone lines via &#39;the net&#39;, and this presents all sorts of new funding methods.<br /><br />As you say Raedwald the &#39;non-productive dags&#39; are a waste of our money, but are entrenched...<br /><br />Which brings me back to my clarion call about things BBC...<br /><br />SHUT IT SOWN!<br /><br />roght-writesApparentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16628822966183977715noreply@blogger.com
